Conditions getting tougher by the day, a couple of nice barbel on rolling meat through the faster(!) water

Started by the salmon hut but anglers on the opposite bank were casting all the way over. Made the trek to the rocks in the woods. Broken twice on the rocks by barbel who know every sharp stone.

No water, no weed so no fish. Swans are starving so we fed them instead

Very tough day fishing. Started on one of the upper steep banked swims. Was feeder fishing targeting barbel . Put a decent amount of ground bait in the river and tried a variety of hook baits but could buy a bite. Change hook link lengths and switched our for a small weight but still couldn’t find the fish. So around 12ish moved to one of the downstream swims - very snaggy so switched to trotting and caught two of the smallest chublet I’ve ever caught - barely the width of my hand. Returned to an upstream swim in the evening and went back to feeder fishing and ledgering. Casting one rod near and one far. After 11.5hrs with no bites I finally hooked into a fish. And boy was it worth persisting for. Double figure Wye barbel - that’s what I came for!

A tough day. Was hard to find a good spot to fish so ended up in the shallower part of river. 2 eels and a small chub, plus lots of canoe traffic. Still the sun shined and views were nice.

I was fishing the stretches in the first field after the woods. Chub were steady all day. I caught one barbel in the afternoon and the second on the last cast of the day, just as it was getting dark.
